Valencia Incoming DMC opens the door to Spain’s third-largest city, set on the Mediterranean coast. Paella was born in this region, and the city still cooks it with pride. In addition, the silk exchange, La Lonja de la Seda, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Valencia’s official tourism board offers detailed visitor information on the old town and guided tours.

Agencies use Valencia as a coastal base with big-city services. The city has an international airport, a metro network and a high-speed rail link to Madrid. As a result, groups move easily between hotels, venues and sights. It also pairs naturally with a Dénia program, about 1.25 hours away by car.

Incentive buyers get sunshine, great food and a relaxed rhythm. Groups can cook paella, cycle through the Turia Gardens and sail from the city marina. Student groups, meanwhile, find strong content in architecture, history and Mediterranean life. In addition, MICE planners can use the congress palace and the Feria Valencia exhibition center.

As a trusted Valencia Incoming DMC, Iberinbound works with local guides, chefs and venue partners. We coordinate transfers, tastings and boat trips for groups of every size. As a result, programs run smoothly from arrival to departure.
